This hazing business at West Point perplexes me. I'Ve been trying to philosophize upon it and find a rea son for it, but cannot. It is the most brutal and senseless thing that young men calling themselves gentlemen were ever guilty of. The evidence al ready submitted has shocked the na- tion,annf it cannot be stopped the na tion is ready right now to alo1!gh the institution It is a disgrace to human ity. But what concerns me ia to find a plausible reason for it an excuse or a paliatiqn. The hazers sny that it is to tay- a young man s metal, his courage. I hat ia false,, or course, for it requires no metal or courage to stand guard over a dead rat or march alongside turtle or terrapin. The whole course of: treatment ia one of devilish cruelty and insanity. .We are told that some of those . hazers were considered very good, kind hearted boys at home before they went to that . lunatic asylum, and lence it must be that association has deranged them like it did for awhile at Yale and Harvard and other north ern colleges.' A crowd of boys away off from home influence will do what no one boy will wish or dare ' to do at hj)me or abroad, I had a dog once who was faithful, and kind a good watch dog and fond of my children. I own a nock of sheep and he pro tected them, .but when other dogs from- the neighborhood came after him in the dead hour of night and gave the sign he. would go with them two or three miles and help to kill a score of sheep and be back at his post on Ihe piazza by daylight. , I would not believe it for a long time, but the neighbors came , and found wool in his teeth and' he had to be killed. I reckon that's what the matter with those good-boy, hazers. They have got wool in their teeth and to my opinion, they ought to be treated lik- the Frenchman did his dog. He wanted to break him of sucking eggs, so he hung him by the hind legs to a limb and let him swing for a day or two. A neighbor said: "Why don't you hang . him by the neck andlet him choke to death?" "No, Bare," he said, "me hangs heem by de legs to geve heem time to tink vat a tam rascal he vas." - Those hazers ought to be hung by their hind legs until they hai time to repent. The cata- ogue of cruel and ridiculous things that those cowards inflict upon a freshman Is fearful. Some of them are unfit for publication. I say 'cowards because it is a maxim that e cruel man is a coward. If they really wish to test a young man's metal or courage why don't they shut him in a room and go in one at a time and fight htm fist and skull. They are cowards, that's all. They would ent fight a Filipino hand to hand. They will graduate cowards and smell the battle from afar, and let the privates do the fighting. They are of the same breed as General Miles, who put the manacles on Jeff erson Davis and tried to lie out of it. He won his spurs in Cuba by getting on top of a hill and crying, "Beef, beef, beef." . ; He reminds me of Patrick Henry's great Bpeech during the first revolution, in which he scarified a man for crying beef, beef, beef, while the patriots were fighting for independence. I have but little patience with the modern West Point er. General Otis is a fair sample. He whipped the Filipinos every day be fore the election. Pay and promotion is their sole ambition. They are a stuck .up swell set and would establish a military monarch if they dared. I see that some fellow ia defending General George C. Thomas and "'Black Jack" Logan in a New York paper. Well, I know all about them. I have now in my possession a letter Written to me by Thomas tin which he de nounces us all as traitors knd sruiltv of treason and says that treason em bodies all the crimes in the decalpgue. A dozen of our Rome boys and girls had improvised a tableau performance in the city hall to raise a little money to pay for replacing pulpits and pews in the city churches'. The sacrilegi ous vandals had gutted the churches and used the pews for horse troughs and the churches for storage of corn and oats. One of the scenes in the tableau was a battlefield after the battle and an old confederate flag was lying down on the floor. For this they were all arrested and the play broken up. Aa I waa. then the mayor of the poor little war-torn town I wrote a respectful letter to Thomas asking for their release, and asserting that no disrespect waa intended. He condeaended ; to release them, but scarified us and all the south in con- tcmptutona and contemptible lan guage and warned us that a rebel flag was the most odius emblem of treason and must not be exhibited in public nor harbored in private. Well, the Light Guards have got the. old banner yet and show it when they please. I had not forgotten that in 1854 two cavalry regiments were organized and added to the United States army by JerTerson Davis, the secretary of war, and that Thomas waa a major in one of them and of the' fifty-one commi8 aioned officers thirty-one were from the south, and of these there were twenty-four who joined the confed eracy. . Among these there were .Rob ert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston, Joe E. Johnston, Hardee, Vandorn, Kirby Smith, Hood , and Fitzhugh Lee What a galaxy of traitors . was there. But Thomas was not among them. - If there was any treason he was a traitor . to his state. As for Logan, let the old veterana of Vin cennes tell. Sa'w a recent letter from one of them narrating how he tried to raise a regiment in Kentucky to fight on our side, but could not get three sickly companies and gave it up. But I forbear Let me atop a while and give my indignation rest. - If it waa not raining I would go out and dig some or chop some wood. Dog on 'em. Counfound 'em. ' But I was considering this hazing business this drinking tabasco and pepper sauce and going through contortions: until the poor victim faints or haa convulsions. The, dic tionary calls it physical persecution, and George W. Curtis, the editor rt Harper's Weekly, denounce lbs whole system as a brutal and con temptible denial of fair play. And yet it is allowed and winked at by the officers in charge and no doubt the investigation of the Booz case will all blow over and end in smoke. I won der if our southern cadets join in it. We have never had any. hazing in southern colleges that I know of. I remember when the sophomores and juniors used to play some kittle tricks on the freshmen, but they were not cruelor dangerous. I remember when young Whatley came to Athens from Talladega, Ala., with his father's wagon and camped out at night while on the journey; He was a country boy and had on a suit of home-made jeans outside and plenty of grit inside. Ope evening after study hours the sophs and juniors combined 'to scare the freshmen who. were timed and green and homesick, and so-one big fellow pretended to take laughing gas or ether and after sucking a while on a handkerchief he got maniacal and threw his arms about in a wild frenzy and distorted his countenance sud denly he drew a big, long butcher knife from hia bosom and the know ing ones shouted, "Run, hoys, run; he's got a knife," and the all ran ex cept Whatley. He. boldly stood his ground and seized a. good sized stone and at the crazy boy got within a few feet of him and was brandishing his knife young Whathy let fly with the stone and knocked the breath out of him. We thought he was dead and a doctor waa sent for in a hurry. That waa the last trick played on the fresh men while I was inojollege. Whatley never put on any airs about it, but he took first honor all the same and be came colonel of a regiment dnring the war, and, 1 think, was killed in battle. I wish we had some southern What leys at West Point. - , After all, it is the officers of an in stitution who mold the character of the boys and as that man Mills can't mold it he ought to resign. I was greatly gratified to read that Presi dent Hardy, who is at the head of the Agricultural and Mechanical college in Mississippi, where there are 400 students, made a request of them some months ago. that they' would quit smoking, and all of them said yes, we will we will do anything you ask ua to do." And since then not a cigar or cigarette has been seen in that splendid institution. Those young men are gentlemen, and we are proud ot them. Bill Arp. Going to Ctali. Salisbury, Jan. 11. Mormon elders have been prosecuting their labors in the remoter part a of Rowan county for nearly a year, but it was not believed that they had made any hard and fast converts. The two eldera who were engaged in this work have also dis tributed tracts in , bausbury. JNow cornea the story from St. Piul'a, in the eastern part of- the county, that Mr. George Goodman, a substantial farmer and good citizen, haa eold hia land and ia disposing of hia personal effects with the intention of moving to Utah with hia family. ,He will be able to take be tween $2,000 and $3,000 wBth him. The eldera have made Goodman's house their home for several montha past He is about 60 years old and has a wife and four children. Hl"Pint. Ram Horn. The logic of some Bible readers re- minda ua of the story of an old colored preacher who made the assertion in his pulpit that every woman had seven devila in her. He waa promptly chal lenged by the irate female members of his flock to make good hia assertion. He announced that on a certain Sunday he would give scriptured proof of what ha had said. When the. time came he gave hia proof aa follows: "Bruddera and sisters, you have all done heard and read dat de Lord done enst seven debbila out of one woman. But, bruddera and sisters. you have not done heard and read dat he cast de debbila out of any udder wo man. Deref re, ef de Lawd only cast de debbila out of one woman, den all de udder women has de debbila in dem yet. So, accordm' to de plain readin' ob de scriptures, ebbery woman has seven debbila in her. Dat's my pint. Brought Good Fortune. A small item in his own paper lately brought amazing good fortune to Editor Chris. Reitter of the Saginaw (Mich.) Post and Zeitung.

A communication from the execuJveJ committee of the State llospikl for the Insane here waa read, asking that an appropriation be made immediately for the care of dangerous insane, who were not provided for in (he appropriations of isy. ' r A bill was introduced by Glenn, to repeal the Greensboro dispensary law of 1809. It provides that the dispen sary board ehall have until July 1st next to dispose of all liquors on hind and making formal report to the county commissioners. Glenn explained the measure saying a white primary of Guilford bad decided by a large major-' I lty that they wanted it abolished. Mc Neill said a white primary had been called in Cumberland to decide the question there and he would abide by then judgmeut. 'Foushee wanted the bill referred to committee." Glenn aald it was a local measure; he wsa a dispen sary man, but yielded to the .voice of the majority and saw no reason for delay. Aycock spoke of the necessity of raising money for public schools and thought taxing liquor Was the best way to do it, even if it was neceesary for the State to go into the dispensary business; He wanted the Senate to go slow on this bill. Glenn, explained that the interests of all were protected by this bill. ' Foushee's motion, was. lost and the bill passed second and third readings. On motion of Ward, the Senate then adjourned until 10:30 to-morrow.. -THE HOUSE.'

The current comment on the merits of the provision giving the Gov ernor the naming of the commission ia all favorable. A leading lawyer Bays that in thia way only can the much needed revision of The Code- be secur ed and that it will save a vast deal of time to the Legislature in not having to elect- the commission. The need of the commission ia conceded by every body. B j Craig, to increase the number cf Superior Court districts to 16.

The Slxth'luausti ration of Diaz, Ueview of lteviews. Mexico Certainly has every reason to cherish its good relations with this country, which have had so much to do with Us recent tranquility and pros perity. It haa had the good fortune to let well enough alone in political affairs, and to continue in office, from term to term, a president who baa known how to maintain order and keep oat of for eign complications. ; President Porfirio Diaz was inaugurated on December 1st, for the sixth time. He was first elected president in 1376, when he served one term and waa succeeded by Gonzalez. In 1884, Diaz was elected aain by a great majority, and Since then the one term provision of the constitution has been set aside to enable him to hold office from term: to term. . Hia recent re-electiona have involved no more con test, apparently, than Washington en countered in his two elections. He has transformed the country over which he presides. It is said that, during the forty-five years previous to his first elec tion there had been in Mexico . mere than two-hundred revolutions and about fifty different rulers. Diaz haa wholly changed all thia. . He has been, wise enough to cultivate American friendship and to welcome American railways, mines, and investors. He haa established schools in which be re quires the study of the English langu age, in the quarter-century oi me rule he has seen the population of the country increase about 50 per cent., while its' production, industry and wealth have increased in a far higher ratio, and its public finances have been brought from diaorder into an excellent condition. From small beginnings, Diaz haa Been the railway system grow until now more than eight thousand miles are under operation. This great administrator, whose achievements en title him to be ranked with, the fore most statesmen of his generation, was seventy years old on the 15th of the last September. Sars a PeroodPcannot Do a Wrong When In a Tranee. TTnr . pnnRfMftntinnn norsnn in An anvthing morally wrong while in a hypnotic trance iB quite impossible, according to Prof. J. R. Angell, of Chi cago. In a lecture at the Fine Arts Building Prof. Angell said that many cajes had been brought up in courts in ia which it waa alleged that hypnotic power waa directly responsible for wrong or criminal acta.' He said that he did not beliuve this view could be sustained in any ordinary case. 1 ' Prof. Angell made a strong appeal for lawa prohibiting the practice of iiypnotiBm except tor medical or scientific purposes.. "The idea is is often expressed that people, with 'weak wits or abnormal minds are the most easly susceptible to the lufluence of hypnotism. This atatememt can be refuted when it ia taken into consideration that idiots, insane people and very young children cannot be subjected to the jnfiluence, The fact remains .that H require? considerable mental abliKtv to focus the mind and control curiosity, so that the condition of acting at the will of the operator con be obtained.' . . Not a Beehive. The following ia to d at the expenae of an American, gentleman who waa recently stopping with hia wife at the Hotel Cecil. Oa; their firat evening there he happened to ret' re somewhat later than hia apouee. Arriving at" the door of what he imagined to be bis room, and finding it locked, he tapped and called "Honejl" No inswer came, and he called again and more loudly, 'Honey!' Still he got no reply, and, becoming somewhat uneasy , he shouted the endearing term with . bis full lung power. This time a reply " came, and in a male vpiCS: "Go awav, you blithering idiot! This is a bathroom, not a bloorningtbeehive !" It ia stated that the South Carolina dispensary ill show a gain in business of about & million dollars for the year juBt passed, with a corresponding gain in profits. V thb ariMiT sr Tssrst rssastrrv.1 Asnoo the iocUiU r2id to the gmerasay a&4 abundant charity c4 the Ule Phibp D. Armour Is one gives in The Sun vvterdy. A miawtar k4 Ht. Armor of a jroong woeno witn a child only a day old Wo ia coM and unfurnished room without food or any. kind of attention, and that prompt aid was neceaaarr to save the hve of the mother and child. It ems a ptUJul Ule of destitution and misery and Mr. Armour gave the minister abttadsnce of money and urged him to kws no time ia rescuing the poor woman. &orty afterward, according to the suy , the minister returned with the money telling Mr. Armour that he bad diev ered the woman to be a si oner, that her sin had found her out and that he matt decline to extend any kind of aid to ber. The mtliiooaire, it is said, or dered the man from his presence,, and went in'peron with, his wife, to carry relief to the suffering woman. . Tbere are, of course, men in every walk of life who disgrace their caUinc, Xevertheleas, it is hard to believe' that a man can be a minuter of the Gospel with principle so absolutely at variance with toe spirit of the Christian relucion. But all muit admit that there is too much of a disposition among some who undertake to distribute alms to find! out tboe who are unworthy rather than to aid those ho are worthy. In a great city where there are many pnor who must be helped there are also many who are imrwtor and try to live upon charity. There' must be agencies to discover and expose such dishonest per sona. But such work is not charity work, but rather detective work, and it may le ttiat in tiim of great fraw ncy, when tbe need for aid is urgent, the delay and it-d tspe of an investiga tion often take place at the cot of in tense Buttering. Tbe truly charitable ntraon would rather run sume risk of imposition than ruo the mk of having some poor creature die of starvation or cold. Not long. ago a story was published telling of a man w ho refused aid to a street beggar in St i Louis on a bitter cold evening, thinking ' him sn impestor. The next morning the beggar was found frozen to death near the spot where aid had been refused. It is better to ruo the risk of being imposed upon' than to run a risk like that. It U not related in the Gospel that the Saviour of the World ever rejected a petition for aid because the applicant was a sinner. On the contrary, a he entered into a cur tain village there met him ten .men that were leper. Ana they lilted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." He knew that nine of them were absolutely without any gratitude and that they must be bad men. But he did not tell them their sin bad found them out. If e had compassion on them and healed them all. - ! , Charity suffereth long and is kind, and. mercy ia twice blessed. It blesses him' that gives aa well as him that re ceives; and even if tbe one that receives ia unworthy, the one that gives receives the blessing. It is hot well for those who start out to do charity to degener ate into mere detectives. When Filipino Will Hied. Sixto Lopez, who is in China in the interest of the Filipinos, made- the following speech at a luncheon gives in his honor by the Everyday Club: "When Dewey arrived at Manila the Filipinos had conquered tbe Spaniards every where in the islands but at Manila. Then the Filipinos established an inde pendent government without any pro teat from the United Statea. Later thia independent government of the Filipi nos waa assailed. We resisted thia as sault and have kept on fighting to re tain our mdependence.- "Everythiug the United Statea has said it wanted in the Philippines we are willing to yield. Coaling stations, ports aud harbors it csn have. All these things can be provided for by trealy stipulation. The Filipinos, however. will not give up their independence. II any promise of future independence is made we will lay down our 'arms and confer with representatives of the United States. V "Our Government is intact, aud un der present conditions ia absolutely cap able of holding its own against, any naticn. The 9,000,000 Filipinos are a unit in their support of the Govern ment and in their determination to re tain their independence.
